Then, once you’ve parked the car — with assistance from the turntable in the garage — head on to the basement bar for a beer on tap, and a view to the pool. Or a nice drop from the impressive wine cellar.

Drink in hand, it’s on to the rumpus room for billiards or a few arcade games.

Wine cellar, pool table, Daytona. What more could you want?

Or, head to the golf room. A digitised space designed to let you play 1000 courses from around the world from the comfort of your own home.

Owner and builder Laurie Anderson, head of Anderson Homes, said he’d picked up a few ideas over 35 years in the industry.

“I was out one night 10 years ago and walked past a bar and driving range and thought I’m going to put one of those in my house one day,” Mr Anderson said.

The secret to a great golf game? Play it where there’s no-one to see you slice it onto the next fairway.

“The bar area downstairs with the beer on tap I picked up on doing some pubs around town. But I’ve got simple tastes, so it’s Carlton Draught.

“(And) there’s six or seven of these (driveway ramps) in Melbourne. I got the idea doing one for Steve Vizard years ago.”

The hydraulic driveway is solid enough that you can park a car on top of it.

Custom joinery, antique doors from France and even a two-way fireplace between the main bedroom and its ensuite are occasionally enough to lure him upstairs to the rest of the home that cost $4 million to build.

As is the Master Builders Association 2017 Kitchen of the Year, on the ground floor of the home.

Award-winning kitchen? Check.

Decked out in marble from New York, and a suite of American appliances, it’s a state-of-the-art cooking space.

The entire four-bedroom house is wired up to be controlled from his phone, including the outdoor entertainment area, pool and spa out back.

“I can’t remember the last time I used a key to open the house,” Mr Anderson said.

Moving around the home is easy too, with a lift between the two above ground levels and the ultimate mancave below.

Ever wanted to relax in the tub with the bathroom warmed by a fireplace?

But he and wife Georgia’s decision to sell has left his mates heartbroken.

“I have got mates telling me I can’t sell the house, I can’t do this to them,” Mr Anderson said.

“But I’m telling them wait to they see the next one. I’m going to put a 10-pin bowling alley in the next one.”

Kay & Burton director Scott Patterson, selling the home in conjunction with Fletchers’ Jeremy Desmier, said he’d never seen anything like it — and expected it would fetch $6.2-$6.8 million.

“It’s safe to say this is a unique property, and one of the most luxurious homes I have seen in Kew,” Mr Patterson said.

Fancy a beer by the pool?

And, to cap it all off, the home is also in one of Kew’s most sought-after streets, he added.

18 Hillcrest Ave, Kew, was opened to the public for the first time yesterday, and will go under the hammer at 3.30pm on May 5.
